In this week's episode, Uriel & Timi explore the impact that the state of our finances has on our mental health & wellness. While these two things may not seem closely related at first, the truth is that our mental health is significantly impacted when our financial resources are scarce. Our hosts discuss the strategies we can use to get ourselves to a place where we have peace of mind about our finances with the goal of moving closer to a state of mental equilibrium. 

In this week's episode,  Uriel & Timi discuss a challenge they issued to themselves to improve their sleep hygiene and prioritize getting a good night's sleep.

In this week's episode, Uriel & Timi discuss the Winter Blues and explore why this is something that many of us (especially in Canada) experience. Our hosts dive into various strategies and mindset shifts we can employ to reframe our perspective about the winter season in order to emerge from this time of year better, rather than bitter.

In this week's episode, Uriel & Timi discuss the topic of self-worth and what it takes to grow, develop and sustain it in our lives. There are an innumerable number of factors that influence, both positively and negatively, our sense of self-worth. But when we focus on the factors that are external to us, it comes all too easy to allow things we cannot control and influence the value we see in ourselves. Through this discussion, our hosts share an effective formula that others can apply to obtain a sense of self-worth that is firmly grounded in our beliefs, identity, and values.

In this week's episode, Uriel & Timi focus in on the concept of instant gratification and posit that our penchant for it has harmed our mental health both as individuals and as a society. While we all know that delaying our gratification is associated with a host of benefits, our desire to obtain things as quickly and easily as possible often overrides what our frontal lobe knows to be true. Our hosts explore various methods that we can use to keep our base desires at bay in favour of pursuing the path that brings us closer to self-actualization and mental equilibrium.
